Carpet cleaning with OXY

[imported_Axe]

hello,

I have just finshed cleaning my carpets with OXY and thought you may be interested in the results. I have also included pics of the cockpit cleaned with BMW emulsion, which is superb for cleaning the dash etc, and importantly not adding a shine, but leaving a perfectly as new flat finish. I love this product for dash cleaning. Pics are all in my gallery here

haha thanks, I noticed that myself from the photo`s and went back out to complete the job, its amazing when you photograph your work how much you see that you missed!

wow looks great

[imported_Axe]

well thanks again, I have to say that this perhaps should be lifted and placed in GSRstilez thread as pointed out by ZaneO above, as it was after reading his post that I did this. So the credit should go to him, and if a mod reads this, could you place this inside there if possible, many thanks.



Sorry for posting in the wrong place

Axe: Looks great!



Definately looks like a hard color to make work of, but you did. How did you extract the solution?

GSRstilez: thanks! And yes the problem with light coloured carpets is that they show the slightest of marks.



Firstly I mixed approx half - three quarter full bucket of warm / hot water with a full scoop full of OXY.



Then I took the mats out of the car, and brought them indoors! I basically used a terry type towel which I dipped in the water and OXY mixture and rubbed the carpets with this.



I then took a dry white terry towel and rubbed the dampened cleaned areas hard - thereby taking most of the solution back out of the carpet. A white terry towel helps, because once the carpet is clean you can tell as your terry no longer becomes dirty as you rub.



I did the same to the carpet fixed inside the car, works a treat thanks for the tip GSRstilez

Axe: Glad you had success with it
